Stop Counting the Candles
I put together this birthday card based on the current Mojo Monday sketch. I've had this Carta Bella birthday themed paper pad out on my table for a while now and it was just what I needed to go with a sentiment from the Sassy Birthday set from The Cat's Pajamas.
I stamped the birthday sentiment in aquamarine ink on a white panel and matted it on a lighter aqua cardstock panel. It was adhered to a matching card base covered with candle patterned paper with a strip of festive star patterned paper along the left side. The candle pattern was a perfect match for the sentiment!
Once the panels were in place, I added two contrasting solid cardstock banner strips, cut with one of TCP's CutUps Framed Up 2 dies, and a sparkly silver star, die cut with the CutUps 3x3 Stars die. The star was adhered with some foam tape for a little dimension and pop.
Materials Used:
Sassy Birthday stamp set, CutUps Framed Up 2 and 3x3 Stars dies (The Cat's Pajamas); Aquamarine ink (Avery Elle); Aqua Mist, Harvest Gold, and Hawaiian Shores cardstock (Papertrey Ink); It's a Celebration 6x6 paper pad (Carta Bella); silver glitter cardstock (Michaels); foam tape
